    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Well, since this pet shop deal took place a year ago, and the rest of it even longer ago, I don't know how many answers you're going to get.......

And I know a lot of honest folks who have sold property without a realtor/broker's help on contract or otherwise. To state that people who don't go through a broker are cons looking to rip you off is a pretty "blanket" and unfair statement.

We sold our last home, and purchased our current home without ANY involvement from a broker. Does that make me a con? :shrug01:
 
Cathy your bad very bad lol....

Richard you said this in the opening of your post "Again i'll ask " did you change user names or something because I can't find where you asked anything . Heck you were not even a member when this thread began, so why did you drag it up???.. Randy

Did I miss something? What's this have to do with this old as dirt thread? :confused:
 
The people with the Reptile Shelter were one of the folks that got ripped off on page 1 of this thread...back in 2005....

Oh, the raffle money they said they would split with our reptile shelter??? Well, it left with them....all of it. They snuck out way before all the vendors left. We looked for them before we left and found nothing left of them...not even their kids.

Cute alias "Monica" but your real name is required on all BOI posts if you don't want to see your posts deleted

Her name is on the post.
I seriously doubt "Monica Lewinski" with a location of "in Bill's pants" is a true name.
 
That IP have anything in common with any others?

Kind of like Pez Wollock with a location of "Here, and only here!" is a true name?

Monica Lewinski IS a real name, and it's not even Bill's Monica; Bill's Monica is Monica Lewinsky.

Search for Pez Wollock in any People Finder, though, and imagine that.. nothing found. Admittedly an alias only to serve a purpose of showing problems on Fauna; even one where he/she/it signed the alia 'Griz' to a BOI post. Oh, but of course, it wasn't signing the name, it was just a random insertion of a word... and those posts will remain, even on the BOI, because there is no way to prove that is or isn't Shrillomn's real name.

Color me confused... :shrug01:

It is this stuff that makes it seem as if Pez has some type of special immunity.

It would rather seem that way, wouldn't it? :shrug01:

Yep. As a matter of fact, she does. The IP address is used by another participant in this very thread. Given that, along with the proximal timeframe in which the matching posts were made, in addition to the remarkably similar writing styles, it's not likely that this is a coincidence.

"The one that knows" would seem to be a true moniker indeed.

Just a brief message to let you know that I have gotten all the paperwork completed and ready to file warrants for their arrest in mid December for check fraud. I will be traveling to Nashville, TN at that time and staying a few days with Earnie Lanier. The Tennessee Check & Fraud Division & local police have been most helpful. I will have them arrested and with the cooperation of another have additional charges filed by them once they are in custody so I can enjoy the spectacle. It's a small tragedy that these people are raising children. Their closest so called friends have helped me immensely as there is no honor among thieves. TN C&F Div states we may all have a great case of fraud against them on the fraudulent advance ticket sale claim that could put them away for many years to come. I'll give everyone loads of more current info this evening so stay tuned..............

Please check out everything Kellie and troy say VERY carefully. Thay are very proficient in covering up thier activities, to look like they are legitimate. I have checked everything I have found posted on them and checked with the law agencies involved in Florida, and California. They are lying in everything I have been able to find. Troy even told me and several other people that he has signed a deal with Broken Bow Records. I called them personally, and they didn't know him at all, and did not like him using their name to promote himself either. As for my involvement with him, I took him at his word at first when I met him and was working with him, but after seeing the condition of his house and children first hand, including a six year old son (Maiden) not in school, who told me that his dad (Troy) Wouldn't let him go to school. These are things I saw and was told personally by Troy. Once I saw these things and investigated further, I cut all ties with Troy and anything to do with he or Kellie. She currently has a warrant out for her arrest issued from Child Services in CA 4 days ago. I also contacted the songwriters that supplied the songs for Troy's so called album, and they informed me that he got their material fraudulently and has been using it without permission. Most of the songs that he has promoted as his are not even him singing, but highly paid demo singers on the original demo fro the songwriters. Don't take my word for it. Check these things out for yourself, I did, before listening to anything anyone else was saying. Everyone has to make their own decision on this one, but I encourage everyone to investigate very carefully, everything anyone says, especially Troy, and Kellie. I don't trust anyone who treats their kids the way I've seen them treat theirs with my own eyes, and the nasty state of the house and children's living conditions. Have a good night.

For "one who knows" you don't know much about the rules for posting on the BOI. All that third party info, not allowed, once the mods take notice it will wind up getting deleted.

Trish, I would strongly suggest you knock off the multiple user names. Consider this your one and only warning.
